Default Yamaha Warrior Question

This maybe a dumb question but...

Can you hook a plow and winch up to a 350 warrior say 99-03?, i haven't done much research on it but i thought i could get a quick answer here

i dont know of any kits to fit a warrior for a plow, warriors barely move in anything over 2 inches of snow, so plowing with one would be near impossible, a winch i have seen before mounted on the nose of the bike above the front bumper, an older wolverine 350 would be more fitting for that stuff.

It would be tough. Definately not going to push anything more than a couple inches. The real issue from my perspective is going to be weight distribution. I have a Warn county blade, and it is pretty heavy. You may be on the verge of tipping over forward with one like that. I know that there are some on the market that are fiberglass/plastic. Maybe you could use one of those. The real problem is going to be control. A two wheel drive is going to be uncontrollable. Even with 4 wheel drive, it is sometimes an iffy situation depending on the presence of ice etc. Chains are almost a necessity, and without the fronts pulling, I cant see you being able to turn. As for the engine size, I don't think you have any problem there, but you will have problems with a clutch setup. Automatics are way better for this. Lastly, how are you going to lift the blade? I know there are manual lifts, but they are a real pain in the forearm. You better eat your wheaties if you are going to use one for any period of time.

So with all that said, No, I don't recommend it.
